What the Royal Chapel Costs:
From London Truth.

LOuuou
After having been closed for more
than two months, the Chapel Royal,
st. James palace, was reopened for
service recently. The queen did not
approve OF the chapel being closed
SO early or for SO long period, and
an explanation was demanded, which
produced an intimation that "the
choir boys are suffering from the ring
worm" wonder whether any parish
church was ever closed for such q rea-
son. The staff OF this chapel consists
of dean, sub-dean, clerk of the
closet, three deputy clerks of the
closet, SO chaplains. ~ honorary
chaplains,9 priests.8 gentlemen sing
ers." 10 "children of the Chapel Roy
al' ii. e., choir boys), an organist, a
sergeant of the vestry, a deputy SER
geant, groom of the vestry, a mas
ter of the "children," and several mi
nor functionaries. The maintenance
of the chapel costs nearly So 5000 a
year, and the queen has not entered
it for more than twenty-six years.
There is a somewhat similar staff at
theWhitehall Chapel, which has also
been closed for six weeks.

confusion OF that scene, but by chance
he saw the door into the Rue MARI
vaux was not open. He had often
gone into the theatre by that door
with members of the administration.
Perhaps it might serve as an exit to
some who were imprisoned in that
burning building.
Half-a-dozen men rushed to open it
at his suggestion, and then--Lester
Wyndham had staggered out.
The full extent Of that awful horror
was not known to these three till the
next day, when the work of bringing
the dead from the ruins was sadly be-
gun.
Over that let us draw a veil. The
story has been told, with all its hor-
rible details, by journals in all coun-
tries.
But amid all the dreadful misery
that night entailed, it is pleasant to
think that the disaster brought with
it the happiness of at least two loving
souls.

son since you went away, and it is
that the blame should not have rested
on one alone. It should have been
divided equally, leaving me to bear
half of it and my wife the other half.
Where we erred was in dividing up
the blame on the basis of tenderloin
steak or peach cobbler, compelling
you to bear half of it yourself. That
will not work, Wilhelmina. Blame
and preserves do not divide up on the
same basis. We are now in favor Of
what may be called a sliding scale.
We think you will like this better.
We also made grave mistake in
the matter of nights out. While
young, I formed the wicked and per-
nicious habit of having nights out my
self. I painted for the night air, and
would 60 long distance and stay out
long time to get enough of it for a
mess and then bring it home in a
paper bag, but 1 can see now that it is
time for me to remain indoors and
give young people like yourself a
chance, Wilhelmina.
So if 1 can do anything evenings
while you are out that will assist you,
such as stoning raisins or neighbor-
ing windows, command me. am no
cook, of course, but 1 can peel apples,
or grind coffee, or hold your head for
you when you need sympathy. I could
also soon learn to do the plain cooking,
1 think, and friends who come to see
us after this have agreed to bring their
dinners.
There is no reason why harmony
should not be restored among us and
the old sunlight come back to our roof
tree.
Another thing I wish to write before
close this humiliating personal. I
wish to take back my harsh and bitter
words about your singing. I said that
you sang like a single mill, but was
mad when 1 said it, and I wronged
you. was maddened by hunger and
you told me that mush and milk was
the proper thing for a brain worker,
and you refused to give me any dope
on my dumping. Goaded to madness
by this 1 said that you sang like a
single mill, but it was not my better,
higher nature that spoke. 1t was my
grosser and more gastric nature that
asserted itself and l now desire to take
it back. You do not sing like single
mill; at least so much as to mislead a
practiced ear.
Your voice has more volume, and
when your upper register is closed is
mellower than any shingle-mill ever
heard.
Come back, Wilhemina. We need
you every hour.
After you went away we tried to set
the bread as we had seen you do it,
but it was not success The next day
it came off the nest with litter of
small, sallow rolls which would easily
resist the action of acids.
If you cannot come back, will you
please write and tell me how you are
getting along and how you contrive to

Dom PedrO's Thirst for knowledge

Dom Pedro's Thirst for knowledge.
Notwithstanding the cruel malady
from which the emperor Of Brazil is
suffering, says Brussels dispatch to
The London Times, he is still endowed
with the almost feverish activity to
see, learn and know everything which
has created 80 mnch establishment
during his former visits to Europe.
He had hardly alighted at the hotel
Mengelle when he started for the
Brussels university and thoroughly ex-
amined the laboratories and the zoolo-
gical museum. After dinner at the
hotel, at which the king and queen of
the Belgians were present, their i'm
perial maiesties went to the Grand
opera and set out the performance of
the "Walkure." Yesterday morning
the emperor visited the collegiate
church of Ste. Gudule and afterward
the palace Of JUSTICE ascending the
four hundred steps which lead up to
the cupola. A luncheon at the royal
palace at Laeken, a visit to the Bra
zillianqegation at Brussels, and re-
ceptlon Of the Brazilian residents at
the Hotel Mengelle followed, and the
days labor concluded with a dinner al
at the Brazilian legation.

And Wyndham dashed forward.
He did not know where the property
room was there was no one to tell
him. The corridors were almost de-
serted by the flying troupe but above
the flames swelled and leaped, belch-
ing forth sparks and smoke that
threatened to choke him. From be-
hind the fire-wall door he heard the
roar of the terrified audience, like SO
many wild beasts trying to burst
their cage.
Marguerite Marguerite he cried.
But there came no reply.
To the right and left he ran, in one
door and out another, till at last he
came upon limp, white figure lying
on the floor of the deserted room.
Marguerite - thank God he
cried fervently.
And catching her in his arms he
turned to retrace his steps.
His voice and touch seemed to
arouse her. She opened her eyes and
smiled with death staring her
in the face, for Wyndham's passage
was barred by flame. He knew not
which way to turn.
"It is thou" she said softly, in
French. 81 saw thee from the very
first"

Where was Marguerite An, II ne
only knew what had become of her !!
he was alone in the box when the
curtain rose.
The opening chorus seemed to him
to come from afar off. He saw moth
ing of the painted singers that moved
to and fro on the boards as the argu-
ment unfolded itself, and the audience
began its fitful applause.
Wyndham saw nothing OF the
daubed scenery or the stage trap
pings he saw his own room, and
little slender figure, modestly draped
in soft white-Margurite, with eyes
like dark pansies, and mass Of shin
ing hair ripping out Of high Greek
knot.
The opera ran on, but Wyndham
sat there, one gloved hand holding the
libretto unopened, the other resting
passively GU the box cushions.
He seemed insensible to everything !;
but there came at last full, splendid
chorus that might have reused any
one.
Wyndham looked up.
The stage was full of men and girls.
He glanced over them, and then-he
started. Leaning forward, he caught
his breath.
Could that be-who was that girl in
white, with golden hair, singing with
downcast eyes, her cheeks glowing
with carmine which art could not
initiate?
Marguerite he breathed. cit is
my little Marguerite !"
Like one spellbound, he sat there
leaning breathlessly forward till the
last note of the chorus died away.
Ifshe would only look at him But
no! What was that rosy glow above?
Why did the prima donna glance up
in a startled way, and then dash off
the stage?
A sudden burst of smoke and wild
cry of Fire !" revealed the danger.
Almost instantly the audience was
on its feet. The stage-maDager rushed
out amidst the fight of the troupe
through the flies, which were wrapped
in flames in an instant.
"Sit still /" he cried wildly. "You
will be crushed to death If you all 90
at once. There is time for all to
escape |"
But the mad rush for the doors
could not be stopped, and almost
before the stage-manager finished
speaking, the fire-wall on the stage
was let down with crash.
It was then that Wyndham darted
out Of his box, through the flies to the
green-room.
There was wild crush and scramble
there, too. Ballet girls and figurantes
new in their scanty attire towards the
narrow stage exit.
Men and women screamed and
shouted, but above the din rose Wynd-
hams voice, crying frantically
